I know he's wrong, that's why I was asking for evidence of his claims. Extraordinary claims and all that...
This seems like some conspiracy theorist and the fact that he will never return with evidence should speak louder than anything I could say to rebut it.

> Fighters include those from the Gulf Arab states, Tunisia (following its own Tunisian revolution), Libya (following the Libyan Civil War), China, other Arab states, Russia, including the North Caucasus region, and Western countries.
